Mon 6th The Luminaire presents CHRIS SMITHER + Norton Money
Doors 7.30 Some words about Chris Smither: "Chris Smither delivers one of the most riveting live shows you're ever likely to see. His growling vocals, badass finger picking and uniformly brilliant songs are here in spades." - Rollingstone.com "The masterful combination of pure folk songwriting and intricate guitar blues are tangible signs of the singer-songwriter's vigorous genius. A megawatt solo performer." - Wired "Chris Smither, whose grand voice, stomping foot, blues-drenched guitar, and abiding interest in the problem of evil packed more power than the bands of (Tracy) Chapman and (John) Martyn combined." - New York Times "(Smither)'s one of the finest interpreters of classic blues and contemporary roots music on the scene today." - Washington Post Main support is in the shape of Norton Money, a London based westerish alt.bluegrass band with sweet harmonies and songs about the ocean, rodeos and finest virginia. Fresh back from a tour in California, the band is now recording their second album.
"These San Franciscan, Bay-Area cats juxtapose gorgeous tripped-out, West-Coast harmonies with bitter-sweet Post-Country lyrics.Their debut album is a work of genius and is truly sublime. Expect a heart-lifting, Cosmic-barnstorming live performance that will have you floating on a cloud and chomping at the bit to dance all night long."
